Legal Question in Entertainment Law in Illinois
Power of Attorney for Athletes
How does one word a letter granting power of attorney to a person to represent an athlete in discussions about his acquisition by a team without losing all rights? This athlete is looking for a position on a team in Mexico, and has been asked to cede his rights to a person connected who will represent him. I think it is a mistake.

Please have an attorney review the document. I like to see the power of attorney limited in scope and authority, and you should have the final say in significant matters.
Re: Power of Attorney for Athletes
Hello. First of all the
athlete should have an
agent and a carefully worded
contract with the agent. To
grant that type of authority
without a contract and without
knowledge of this individual,
in my opinion, would be a
serious mistake. Good Luck.
